Textiles Graduate London, United Kingdom
About me
A recent First Class Honors graduate of Textile Design, from Chelsea Collage of Art. My final year collection focused on the impact of fashion on active wear and how this can influence the practicality of the final garment. Using a range of natural and synthetic woven and non-woven fabrics, each hand dyed and printed with various techniques to create a collection expressing my concept. My dissertation study focused on the sexualisation of sports women within the wider media and how it affects their sporting performance.     I am looking for my first step into an exciting career in the colour development and printed textiles. ¥ I am passionate about performance textiles, natural fibers, colour and print development as well as how lifestyle and culture influence fashion. ¥ I am a highly motivated individual with an endless need for research and progression. ¥ A tenacious individual with a strong work ethic and communication skills who can excel at any role or given task.   ¥ A fast learner with a vast range of material, active and outdoor knowledge. ¥ A profound colourist with a tremendous amount of drive and passion for dyeing synthetic and natural materials.   ¥ I am confident in my own creativity and capabilities, but also have an insatiable thirst for experience and knowledge from others.
